Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. You can read about my challenge to be the youngest boy ever to complete the Aspire Channel Swim and also follow my journey towards being an even better swimmer. You can also read about my achievements along the way - like being the 2012 Kellogg's ASA Swimtastic Young Swimmer of the Year.
I completed the Channel swim when I was 6 years old - the task was to swim the equivalent of the English Channel in a pool in 12 weeks. That's 22 miles, or 1416 lengths of a 25m pool - this meant swimming 118 lengths a week, every week for the duration of the challenge. I finished the swim in 11 weeks and got my first swimming record.

BY DOING THIS I BECAME THE YOUNGEST BOY EVER TO COMPLETE THE ASPIRE CHANNEL SWIM and raised over £1273 to help people with spinal injuries.

Now I'm working to be an even better swimmer. I know I can swim for long distances, now I am working on swimming faster.

IN 2020 I'LL BE 15 - MICHAEL PHELPS SWAM IN HIS FIRST OLYMPICS WHEN HE WAS 15 - THAT'S MY DREAM TOO.

886 down - 550 lengths to go.....

I've got 550 lengths left to complete my Aspire Channel Swim. I did another 34 lengths tonight but was tired after playing with one of my best friends today and practicing tumble turns in swimming squad. So I came home, had a lovely spaghetti bolognaise for tea and went to bed with my lovely, cuddly panda. 
It's the start of week 7 of my 12 week challenge today, I am on schedule, I just need to keep going. Mummy says now would be a good time for some 'keep going' messages from you all. If you have time, drop me a line. Thank you for supporting me. Love Oliver
